Well isn't Book 4 the final season anyway? It doesn't really matter if they know its the end.

There obviously won't be a sequel to this series (like how Korra was a sequel to Avatar), because they're trying to finish this series off.

Seriously I think they are just trying to axe the whole universe at this point.

[MrTMNT2012]

I think aside from TMNT (even then, it's debatable), Nickelodeon just doesn't want to be associated with anything half-way decent.

Their reputation of kiddy BS shows worked for them in the past and they're more than comfortable getting back to that instead of adult and sophisticated series like Korra.

Korra isn't really sophisticated.....I don't think it's even half as well thought out as ATLA....but you know different opinions~

looks pretty though XD

You ever hear how ATLA was made????
That thing was literally a pipe dream.

But what do you mean by sophisticated are you describing the writing or something else??
I think both series definitely have their strengths and weaknesses.

I mean...I don't think LOK's writing is good.

the characters...the plot....I don't think it's great at all.

my main problems...

1) the romance
2) the morals
3) lot's of stuff never follow up
4) Korra just doesn't learn.

The romance was pretty much killed off in book 3.
Morals??
I honestly need to rematch the series in its entirety in order to look at the fine details.

by Morals I mean....what is right and wrong in the series....there's a lot of black and white......not enough grey....(with the villains I mean)

2 waterbending villains with waterbending brothers.... in a row.

the romance was horrible....Korra kissed Mako....and waited till season 3 to even apologize to Asami....sheesh girl.

Why is Asami even friends with the Krew? They pretty much burned her twice. (except Bolin)

Don't even get me started on Mako.....just don't get me started.

Korra didn't really help the non-benders in season 1, all she did was push Amon out the window and give the bending back.....but what about the oppression of the non-benders???? They kinda glazed over that.

how they heck did Korra even keep her airbending when Amon took her bending?? Also season 2....what the heck did Jinora do toward the end...the light thing??

What about the Spirits from book 2?? Korra gets mad at the President for telling her off.....but the whole things her fault. Buildings are getting destroyed because of the spirits and she just says things will probably get better. Once she gets kicked outta the city...who's gonna help the citizens??? It's not like the buildings will stop getting demolished.

do they even bring up the spirits at the end of book 3? What's going on with them???

Also Korra's power level is confusing...she knows all this bending, even bending Aang couldn't learn like healing and metalbening, and yet she's always getting captured anyway. Her Avatar state seems de-powered compared to Aang. We knew Aang would win a battle with his Avatar state, but with Korra...it seems like a slight power up.

speaking of the Avatar state...how did Korra even have the Avatar state toward the end of Book 3??? I thought it was a collection of the past avatar's skills? If she destroyed her connection with the past avatar how can she still go into the state??

and do not get me STARTED on the whole Aang was a neglectful dad thing....and how Toph was a bad mom who had 2 daughters from 2 different dudes....who her kids don't even know!! I mean THE HECK IS THAT ABOUT!?

also Bolin was fine season 1....became a joke season 2...got slightly better season 3.

oh and the twins not caring that their father died??? That was pretty weird....they seemed emotionless before...but they also didn't seem to hate their dad either.

those are some of my complaints

This rant was incredibly thinly veiled. And even more nitpicky than CyberCubed!

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome to hear a release date for book 4 though I have a feeling Nick won't air it on TV except for maybe NickToons. Ah, well.

oh and the twins not caring that their father died??? That was pretty weird....they seemed emotionless before...but they also didn't seem to hate their dad either.

those are some of my complaints

1)Well lets face facts that the writers have there hands tied thanks to Nick. Season 3 was only 13 episodes so they simply didn't have time to flesh out the story
2)Water benders are evil now Hey ATLA only had the Fire Nation as the bad guys so you must really hate that series
3) The romance was fine at first, but became annoying with the constant break-up together BS.
4) Asami is probably still with the gang bc of some sense of obligation for what her father did, she is trying to prove to herself that she is not him or maybe she is trying to redeem() her family and honor.
5)Wont get you started on Mako
6) The benders were the ones being attacked by Amon. Also it was pretty much A corrupt man using fear and blame to rally and target a certain group pretty much Nazi like Amon=Hitler seriously.
7)Did you see the finale of season 1? Korra had the link severed but was able to reestablish the link and her past avatars restored her bending. And her air-bending was not taken away bc she wasn't able to use it until shortly after when her life was endanger. All her other bending was taken and then restored.
Spirits did make a appearance in book 3, and the metal bending police probably kept everything in order.
9)Korra has been captured a lot probably as much as Aang well maybe a little less.
10)Korra cannot control the Avatar State like Aang could. Also Korra's villains are just more powerful than Aang's villains except for the fir lord.
(11) Again not enough time/episodes to explain them. But they are just weird or maybe they are suffering from PTSD.
(12) Also about the show being all black and white, look at this last season. Was Zaheer correct or right??? He was trying to free the people from the tyrants of society. Zaheer killed the earth queen, she was corrupt and evil, but it led to ba sing say burning to the ground. Season 2 should Korra have allowed the spirits back??? They are apart of the universe, but can be destructive. There was season 1 and the rights of benders vs the need for equality for non-benders.

Ok give me some credit I answered the rant as best as I could, but give a guy a break. Also it sounds like you need to re-watch the series like I need to. Bc I know the show how korra gets her bending back.

Oooh lemme take a crack at this:

Not true.

2 waterbending villains with waterbending brothers.... in a row.

The first two seasons of Avatar had Fire Nation badguys in a row.

the romance was horrible....Korra kissed Mako....and waited till season 3 to even apologize to Asami....sheesh girl.

The romance wasn't handled well at all, that I'll agree with.
But, cripes. I could never hear someone complain about how KORRA WAS A HOMEWRECKER one more time and it'd still be too soon.

Why is Asami even friends with the Krew? They pretty much burned her twice. (except Bolin)

Why not?

Don't even get me started on Mako.....just don't get me started.

I think fandom has a hate on for him.

Korra didn't really help the non-benders in season 1, all she did was push Amon out the window and give the bending back.....but what about the oppression of the non-benders???? They kinda glazed over that.

I agree more depth could have gone into that, but thanks to Korra the world has its first democratically elected leader. And a non-bender at that. Nothing to sneeze at.

how they heck did Korra even keep her airbending when Amon took her bending?? Also season 2....what the heck did Jinora do toward the end...the light thing??

Amon blocked people's chi paths, and Korra's airbending path wasn't open...so there was no way to block it.

That's something specifically left for you to speculate, so sayeth Bryke.

What about the Spirits from book 2?? Korra gets mad at the President for telling her off.....but the whole things her fault. Buildings are getting destroyed because of the spirits and she just says things will probably get better. Once she gets kicked outta the city...who's gonna help the citizens??? It's not like the buildings will stop getting demolished.

You get what you vote for.

do they even bring up the spirits at the end of book 3? What's going on with them???

Guess you'll just have to watch and find out.

Also Korra's power level is confusing...she knows all this bending, even bending Aang couldn't learn like healing and metalbening, and yet she's always getting captured anyway. Her Avatar state seems de-powered compared to Aang. We knew Aang would win a battle with his Avatar state, but with Korra...it seems like a slight power up.

We don't know that Aang never learned healing or metalbending.
Aang was captured a whole bunch of times, and nearly died.

speaking of the Avatar state...how did Korra even have the Avatar state toward the end of Book 3??? I thought it was a collection of the past avatar's skills? If she destroyed her connection with the past avatar how can she still go into the state??

She reconnected with Raava.
They did a whole episode on it in Book 2.

and do not get me STARTED on the whole Aang was a neglectful dad thing....and how Toph was a bad mom who had 2 daughters from 2 different dudes....who her kids don't even know!! I mean THE HECK IS THAT ABOUT!?

Aang wasn't neglectful.
Toph wasn't a bad mom.

You need to unpack some stuff here.

also Bolin was fine season 1....became a joke season 2...got slightly better season 3.

This I'll give you.
The B Stories from Book Two were...not fantastically paced.

oh and the twins not caring that their father died??? That was pretty weird....they seemed emotionless before...but they also didn't seem to hate their dad either.

Their dad tried to kill them.
[/QUOTE]

Also...Nick isn't going to air the final book on tv.
It's going online and to the app only.

[BabyTurtles]

sorry you guys went though the trouble of trying to answer my rant

but some things I just can't look past.....

it's like this....I came in with an open mind, but some stuff didn't sit well with me....then season 2 came and I felt like it was even worse than season 1.....now every little thing LOK does ticks me off.

it's like I can't trust the show anymore sadly.

Korra just isn't a character I can root for.

[BubblyShell22]

I knew they would air it online. That sucks, but whatever. At least I can watch TMNT and that's something.

You do know how easy it is to get the episodes once they have aired/been put online?

I'm actually one of the few that's going to agree with you here, I think it's an ok show but it's got flaws. I'm one of the few that prefers the original series to Legend of Korra, maybe had the guy's been given more episodes to work with it could have done better but alas we are lucky to have been given as many seasons as we have now. Can you imagine what would have happened had it actually ended at book one like it was supposed to? Poor Bolin and Asami

Though, I heard had it ended like it would have that Asami was supposed to be a villain in the end like fans were predicting.

Blah, had Mako x Korra ended up the way it did in book one. Korra pretty much stabbed Asami in the back and tricked Bolin just to get to Mako. Than LOL Mako, do I really need to say more? He had so much hate

I like what they did with book three though, I just hope Asami gets some thing good for book four, the girls been nothing but used for love triangle plots and not plots really. She did have some good moments in book three at least
